Sometimes when it's raining, I drive to the coast covered with meadows and just sit there in my car, put some music on, and watch the sea ...
... and then ...
... when the rain stops for a while ...
... or just slows down enough and decreases her showering power to let you do a couple of shots without getting completely soaked ...
... I go out and wander around, remaining at the short distance from the car ...
... while the music from the car is still playing ...
... usually some anachronistic stuff ...
... hippy music, you may say :D ...
... Neil Young from the early seventies ...something warm and whimsical from Donovan ... the white album of The Beatles ... stuff like that ...
... and with that soundtrack on ...
... I go in search of interesting details in this scenery covered with droplets and shiny little things ...
... so this is a post about usual insects and spiders and flowers and such ...
... but also ...
... and even more ...
... about the many shapes of water ...
... about different droplets ...
... on different surfaces ...
... and poetic moments of meditative calm ... like this small bee under the leaves ... with a few droplets on her ...
... or this detail from a much bigger cluster of flowers ...
... this bug is completely enveloped in water in a pretty peculiar way ... reminds me of magic shields my characters were casting in TES Morowind and Oblivion :D this insect is wearing the water like a video game representation of a magic spell effect ...
... on the shiny surface of this very small beetle ...
... the minuscule droplets are changing color ...
... depending on the angle from which you look at them ...
... and this little wonder is beautiful from all the angles ...
... there were some interesting protuberances on the leaves of the nearby trees ...
... probably the work of some of the many small wasp species who do those things ... but I m not sure ...
... and from some perspective ... and with certain light ...
... this was transformed into a landscape with a tree ...
... the small pines was very elegantly decorated ...
... they looked better than a Christmas tree ...
... with shiny droplets instead of lamps
... the simple leaves of grass were covered with pearls ...
... and ich plant had her own set of crystal decorations ...
... and some insects were decorative to ...
... like this elegant small moth with long antennae ...
... but in this droplets wonderland ...
... even the simple, gray colored, flies looked beautiful to me ...
... and like this is not enough ...
... there were flowers ...
... gorgeous as always ...
... droplets and flowers make some great combinations ...
... some small things here were hard to define ...
... this looked like some living thing ... but when I touched it ... turned out to be just a droplet filled with some dirt ...
... this very small spider found shelter in the ear of grass ...
... and so did a minuscule black insect too ...
... some bugs shaped like little shields were mating on this grass ...
... and some large leaves were decorated with aphids and droplets ...
... and now ...
... with some more flowers ...
... and droplets ...
... and another bug on the wet grass ...
... and a beautiful snail enjoying the favorable conditions ...
... and some lovely minuscule flowers on some thorny bush ...
... its time ...
... to bring ...
... this long, rainy scroll ...
... to an end ...
... that's all for today ...
... hope you enjoyed this rainy day atmosphere ...
... have a good day ...
... or night ...
... wherever on the planet you are ...
( As always on these posts on Steemit, all the photographs are my work. )

... that I forgot to put in the post at proper time ...
... so is here as a bonus :D ... and now ...
... that's really all ...
... yep ...
